That is an interesting study. I thought the growth and fission rates for the magnificas was pretty interesting. Would have been interesting to know if either group had spawned during that time. It seemed strange that they left the damsles in the anemones while they studied the ones without clowns.

I think that it would have been nearly impossible to get the damsels out of the anenomes for the study. The damsels occupied the anenomes on their own, and there were rather a lot of them. So I imagine it would have been quite difficult to eliminate the damsels from the anenomes for the study.
